| Blue Jasmine Directed by Woody Allen Four Stars |
By Rollan Schott
And so, here at age 77, Woody Allen has made one of the
great films of his long career, and has drawn from Cate Blanchett one of the
great comic performances by anyone. Allen has always predicated his films on
the vast chasm over which people from different circumstances attempt to
understand one another. His time has come. With income inequality in America
as wide as it has been since the twenties, our public discourse has shifted
toward attempts by both the rich and the poor to pigeon-hole and typecast the
other. Class warfare has no place for humanity.
